The library dates its official foundation to mid-1918, when, under the independent Ukrainian regime, it was established as the National Library of the Ukrainian State (NBU-Natsional'na biblioteka Ukrains'koi derzhavy). Reconstituted under Bolshevik rule and given the name of the All-People's Library of Ukraine (VBU) in 1919, it was reorganized in 1920 as the main library of the All-Ukrainian Academy of Sciences (VUAN-Vseukrains'ka Akademiia nauk), and after 1934, the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR (BAN URSR, and after 1965, TsNB AN URSR). After the founding of an independent Ukrainian state and Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, the library changed its name accordingly (TsNB AN Ukrainy) in 1992. With the reorganization of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in 1994, the library was again renamed (TsNB NAN Ukrainy). The library was reorganized as the National Library of Ukraine on the basis of the TsNB NAN Ukrainy in May 1996.
Access: All archival and other manuscript materials in both the Institute of Manuscripts and the Institute of Archival Studies and now open for research. For access to holdings in either Institute, researchers should present an official letter from their sponsoring institution, addressed to the director of the Institute.
